E Country Scale

Posted by tony hogan on Nov 07 2007 | acoustic guitar, guitar, normal tuning

E Country scale is really a C sharp Blues scale.  This scale works, if you play folk, country, acoustic rock any thing at all in the key of E with the basic chords E A B or B7 this scale will work beautifully for improvisation. 

I have written the scale ascending (from lowest sounding notes to high).  As I am aware that people like variation and can become bored and even sound extremely unmusical with scales ascending and descending, I have played around with the descent of the scale t make it musical.  Remember, music is to be musical not mechanical.

Over the years I have worked through many of the Stefan Grossman books.  His contribution to the development of the guitar is often not recognized by many players.  His arrangements and tutorials are very well written and even after 20 years or  more of owning his books I find things that are useful references.
